A 7-week self-paced online course for artists and anyone at all seeking to get in touch with the inherent creativity and healing capacity of mind and world.
A seven-week course for cultural professionals and anyone at all seeking to get in touch with the inherent creativity and healing capacity of mind and world.
This course meets as a group each Monday to reflect the weeks learning.
There is the option to get 2 hours of one-on-one instruction/coaching, in addition to weekly group meetings and online course materials.
Group meetings will be kept small enough that we can enjoy fruitful dialogue and a genuine sense of community.
Week 1. Orientation to the course. The real meaning of philosophy, for you as an artist and as a human being, and why philosophy as LoveWisdom has been even more marginalized than art. How we can cultivate the mind of beauty, the mind of love, and the mind of wisdom altogether, as part of healing and rejuvenating ourselves and the world.
Week 2. This week will provide you with an introduction to the four core skills of art and life, and the structure of all experience. You will learn how to begin working with these skills and this structure in ways that can immediately enhance your experience of making art.
Week 3. Learn about love as a path of creativity, including the Six Facets of Love, and how to apply these to your life and art. We will also cover the Seven Factors of Creativity (all of them spiritual/philosophical in nature), and how you can cultivate them. You will also learn the Creative Audience process so that you can give and receive better feedback on your artistic work.
Week 4. The central spiritual problem for artists, along with the basic psychological problem. We will look at a core archetypal image, and learn how to work with the shadow of our personal and collective psyche in order to s of maturation. An artist can become not only a visionary, but also a true elder, and even a sage.
Week 5. Creating and living by means of nondoing. Learn how to cultivate the skill of nondoing and how to relate to perception as a skill by means of the Four Foundations of Art and Liberation.
Week 6. How to face the unknown, how to work with unknowing, how to enter not-knowing, and how not-knowing leads to greater intimacy in art and life.
Week 7. We will mainly use this week to resolve some of the questions that will have come up in your journey through the course, and we will engage in the creative audience process, if we haven't done so already.

2-6 hours per week. A total of 7 weeks of content, connecting and sharing.
It is a self-paced course – you can dive deep or skim the surface and still find great benefit.
MONDAYS (7 PM IRISH/UK TIME) are when the course instructor hosts the live group learning sessions. You will also get so much more out of the course by joining us for the weekly Live Group Meetings—that is when the learning will really come alive, and you will get a chance to meet new friends and colleagues who can expand the ecology of mind, bringing mutual insight and inspiration.
We highly recommend setting aside a specific time each week, after new material becomes available each TUESDAY, to go through the weekly module lesson.
The course material is also available to access for TWO months after the course ends.
You will be notified each week by email when next week's module lesson is available.
You will have a week to view videos, read and listen to other resources and time to complete short and simple exercises. That means there is plenty of time to do your homework and to prepare yourself for the Live Group Meetings a week later!
The course material is also available to access for TWO months after the course ends.
An Internet connection, and a computer with a camera and audio to join the online (Zoom) meetings and to view the course video material.
It is not advised to use a mobile phone to take this course.
Also, your presence and commitment. You will gain more if you participate more. The group meetings, where we can listen and hear how others interpret the learnings, are the special magic sauce for appreciating the value of ecoliteracy.
We tend to develop an ecology of mind among participants as we move through the weeks.
Each weekly module contains videos, reading resources, practices and occasional, optional written exercises. The weekly LIVE Group meeting will be done over Zoom. A weekly email will sent to keep you up to speed.
At the end of the course, you can submit a short piece of writing that incorporates some of the course ideas– either an artist's statement, ideas in process, creative writing etc., and receive written feedback from the course instructor.
Because we want you to be completely happy with your decision, we will let you test-drive and evaluate the Haumea course for 14 days. Enroll today.
If the course doesn’t suit, let us know before the 14 days are up and we'll return 100% of your money back—no questions asked (although because this is a unique course, we'd really love feedback).
Our Haumea Online course tuition fees are much lower than what you would have to pay a traditional educational institute—if you could find such courses elsewhere. Our students have found this material to be both rare and valuable.
As with any good educational experience, you will get tremendous benefits from our expertise.
Education is not a matter of information exchange. From that more limited perspective, our courses contain a great deal of information that would require a lot of time and many headaches for you to gather alone. But, more than that, we offer experience—not only our experience of working with these ways of knowing, being, living, loving, and creating, but also our experience at fostering insight and inspiration.
You will find our courses an empowering investment in yourself and your creative work.
